Thank you very much, glad you have enjoyed watching the progress, I appreciate everyone following along, and I've enjoyed logging my work and reading everyone's input.

I just realized that I've neglected to upload any pictures of the truck in it's reassembled state. It still needs some odds and ends. I want to replace the side view mirrors which is why the driver's side mirror isn't on yet. I'm going to add an aftermarket remote keyless entry kit to it as I don't like putting keys near new paint.

I replaced the radiator cap and the spark plugs and wires and it doesn't have a CEL anymore. It had 3 different types of plugs in it and all 8 had different gaps. It's probably going to sit until spring because I'm not going to take it out in the salt and slush. Anyways, here it is-
